Someday the time will come when its too hard to get it off it's kickstand! When that happens I want one of these.

No thank you. If I can't lean it I don't want it.

Yep kinda defeats the purpose of having a bike

Hey, TC -
I likely deserve that yank for stepping on your lip awhile back, BUT . . .

Check the record - I never referred to young Evil as being a bloke - Only as a "partner", which at least in American is not gender specific. IZZIT different in OZ? Are there no female "partners"? Show me the money, Honey.
Best Regards,

I don't think that the purpose of a motorcycle is to lean.. its to convey ones self from point A to point B while enjoying oneself.
Having said that yes its loads of fun to push the limits of both bike and rider on challenging roads. But when the time comes and it will for all of us I want to be riding up into my 80's+ ( being realistic here) clogging up the dragons tail at or below the speed limit keeping all you young bucks from passing!

I know a 74 yr old man who has a Ducati Superbike 1199 Panigale.

Ducati Superbike 1199 Panigale - Ducati

He wears gloves, helmet, suit, the whole 9 yds. He isn't in his 80s but I bet he will be riding a two wheeler when he gets there.

Trikes are not really me - but The Grinall still looks pretty decent

Well done trike. I like the way the curves of the body work below passenger pillion and fender shadow the curves of the bear claw.

So how many hours is he riding on that two wheeler without a break? I mean really.
When I'm 74 years old I won't be wanting to take my two wheeler on any 10 hour trips to visit friends, I'll use my three wheel Rocket for that.
Now hopping around town, blowing the stink off, I'm figuring a nice Speedmaster will do that just fine, past 74 for sure.

Don't think the Thunderbird is a competitor for the Rocket. Honestly nothing is except oddballs like the Boss Hoss.

Or maybe the Ducati Diavel! I'd like to have one of each
